چکیده
BACKGROUND New drugs are needed to combat HBV infection. We investigated the anti-HBV activity of the deoxycytidine analogue FNC, which has anticancer activity and has been found to inhibit HCV replication. METHODS In this study, a human hepatoma HepG2.2.15 cell culture system and duck HBV (DHBV) infection model were used as the in vitro and in vivo models to evaluate the anti-HBV activity of FNC. RESULTS In the cell model, FNC effectively suppressed the secretion of the HBV antigens in a dose-dependent manner, with 50% effective concentration values of 0.037 μM for hepatitis B surface antigen and 0.044 μM for hepatitis B e antigen on day 9. Consistent with the HBV antigen reduction, FNC also reduced the HBV DNA level by 92.31% and 93.90% intracellularly and extracellularly, respectively. DHBV DNA levels were markedly reduced after treatment with the FNC at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg•day dosages. The inhibition rate of FNC at the dose of 2.0 mg/kg•day reached 91.68% and 81.96%, in duck serum and liver, respectively, on day 10. Furthermore, significant liver histology restoration after FNC treatment was observed, as evaluated by the histopathological analysis. CONCLUSIONS FNC can evidently inhibit the replication of HBV in the HepG2.2.15 cell line in vitro and inhibits DHBV replication in ducks in vivo. It could be potentially developed into a new anti-HBV drug.

FNC, 2'-deoxy-2'-β-fluoro-4'-azidocytidine, is a novel cytidine analogue, that has shown strong antiproliferative activity in human lymphoma, lung adenocarcinoma and acute myeloid leukemia. In this study, we investigated the effects of FNC on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the underlying mechanisms. In in vitro experiments, cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay, and cell cycle progressi...

The anti-hepatitis B (anti-HBV) activities of the (-) and (+) enantiomers of cis-5-fluoro-1-[2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine (2'-deoxy-3'-thia-5-fluorocytosine [FTC]) were studied by using an HBV-transfected cell line (HepG2 derivative 2.2.15, subclone P5A). The (-) isomer was found to be a potent inhibitor of viral replication, with an apparent 50% inhibitory concentration of 10...

We investigated the potential of 4'-C-substituted nucleosides for the treatment of HIV-1 and HBV. Of the nucleosides we prepared, several 4'-C-ethynyl-2'-deoxypurine nucleosides showed the most potent anti-HIV activity. However, two candidates, 4'-C-ethynyl-2'-deoxyguanosine and 9-(2-deoxy-4-C-ethynyl-beta-D-ribo-pentofuranosyl)-2,6-diaminopurine, were very toxic during in vivo study. On the ot...
